Updates through the handoff.
Get a booking confirmation, a text when your hauler is on the way and photos when the pickup is done. Your retired equipment is one less thing to keep track of.
A separate monitor and tower count separately. Small devices and cables have their own box option. Choose what is actually leaving so your price matches the pickup.
Monitor, desktop or laptop.

Printer or office copier.
A printer with a built-in scanner belongs under Printer. A floor-standing copy machine belongs under Office copier. The shape matters more than the brand.

Electronics do not go at the Kettering curb, because the city names them with hazardous material that must stay out of the trash and recycling. Montgomery County takes them free from county residents at the transfer and recycling facility in Moraine, which accepts televisions, monitors, computers, microwaves and small countertop appliances.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Electronics recycling is free to all Montgomery County residents at the county transfer and recycling facility, which requires proof of residency. Kettering residents are county residents, so there is no per item charge.
When & how
Take the items to the Montgomery County transfer and recycling facility at 1001 Encrete Lane in Moraine, open Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and closed Sunday, with the gates closing promptly at the posted time.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from computers and phones before handover. Keep televisions, monitors and computers out of the trash cart and the recycling cart, since the city lists electronics with the material that must not go in either, and keep large appliances with refrigerant separate because the electronics drop-off refuses them.
Wrap it, tape it, or certify it, or the truck keeps moving
Three preparation rules decide whether a bulk item is actually collected. An upholstered item, including a sofa, a mattress, a box spring or a dining chair, has to be completely wrapped on all sides in sealable plastic, and the city states that anything not completely sealed will not be serviced. Any glass, such as a mirror, a window or a shower door, has to be taped. An appliance that contains refrigerant has to have that refrigerant removed before pickup with a certificate of removal attached to the unit. A toilet has to go out with the tank separated from the bowl, and a large piece such as a dining hutch or a ping-pong table should be separated or dismantled.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
